Arthritis

My friend for over 40 years is a healthy 77 year old woman who doesn't understand my chronic pain. I have arthritis in my knees, shoulders hip. I hurt every day. She's been inviting me to come over to her house. I've been refusing because it hurts getting into her car and then getting out. Her chairs and couch are not comfortable, I'm groggy and sleepy due to meds. She thinks I'm avoiding her, I'm not. I'm just more comfortable at home, with heating pad and my heating throw. I don't like going out because of the pain. Anyone else have this issue.

Hi, my name is ladyray1951. I've been diagnosed with Chronic Orthopedic Arthritis pain

My husband has only had one eye for over 50 years. The other eye was severely damaged in a workplace accident 33+ years ago. The specialist has said for all these years, that he had no idea how my husband was able to see. Any little injury could cause the loss of vision. Today it happened. One of our dogs jumped up and one of her claws made contact with his eye. He has lost virtually all of his vision. He says it’s as though he’s looking through as incredibly dirty window. He is unable to read, watch tv, etc. we will be calling his ophthalmologist in the morning and try to get an emergency appointment. I’m my opinion, there will likely be nothing that can be done. Please pray for us as we navigate this new challenge. #Migraine #Fibro #Arthritis

Hi, my name is AlexaHarris.

I have been suffering with TMJ for about 3 months now, following a severe infection that caused an abscess in my jaw and shifted it about on the one side. The painkillers the dr is having me take don’t feel like they are doing a great deal, I’m doing all the exercises and avoiding eating anything that makes the pain worse but even though my doctor is going with the give it time to heal approach due to this being the first time it’s been a problem and he said it CAN take 5-6 months and I’m only just coming up to 3 months and it’s affecting me mentally more and more the longer I’m at this it’s not feeling better yet standstill I’m wondering if there is anything more I can even do about it? Especially as it’s preventing me tolerating using my cpap therefore I’m not getting rested sleep. The recent blood test I had to check for arthritis and stuff showed I have low b12 and iron which I don’t usually end up low in and I’m starting meds to hopefully treat the low b12, but that’s also making me so tired too and making it harder to cope mentally. I’m terrified of going to the dentist although I’m starting to think maybe I do need to go see them for their opinion on treating this perhaps as well? Anyone with advice is very welcome!

Let me start by saying I have two roommates that are messy and more on the lazy side. Me; I'm a neat freak! I do apologize through cleaning once a week. Last night I washed the dishes and swept the floor. Then laid down in my room. Couldn't sleep. So I hand washed a small load of my clothes by hand and hung them up. Swept my room and laid down. This morning I finished the kitchen, cleaning stove top, electric burners and the trays, stove knows and the door. All counters were cleaned and then I tackled in and outside of the refrigerator. Also cleaned the bathroom. Mind you I have many breaks in-between. This all took me 7 hours. Oh and I took the dog on a short walk. My back hurts but we'll worth the pain the have a clean home!!
